Abstract
The use of a simulation software in the study of a flexible automated material handling system such as a palletizing application constitutes a very useful tool for the field project engineer. FMCell provides a knowledgeable platform that allows the integrator to analyze diverse configurations in order to establish an optimum performance for the given requirements.
A feasibility study has been developed taking advantage of the features provided by this software. A typical scenario was selected, modeled and analyzed keeping always as an objective the flexibility and adaptability of the layout to diverse situations, such as variable type of loads and palletizing arrangements.
